The Shackleford Sisters: Books 1-3
(2024)(A book in the Shackleford Sisters series)
An omnibus of novels by Beverley Watts
Join in the hilarious misadventures of the Shackleford Sisters as they descend on a Regency society that doesn't know what's hit it...
GRACE
Reverend Augustus Shackleford’s mission in life (aside from ensuring the collection box was suitably full every Sunday) was to secure advantageous marriages for each of his eight daughters. A tall order, given the fact that in the Reverend’s opinion they didn’t possess a single ladylike bone in the eight bodies they had between them. Quite where he would find a wealthy titled gentleman bottle headed enough to take any of them on remained a mystery and indeed was likely to test even his legendary resourcefulness.
But never in his wildest dreams did he envisage receiving an offer for his eldest daughter from the new Duke of Blackmore. Of course, the Reverend was well aware he was fudging it when he described Grace as respectful, meek and dutiful, nevertheless, he could never have imagined that his eldest daughter’s unruliness might end up ruining them all.
TEMPERANCE
Reverend Shackleford was at a loss. He’d truly believed that in marrying his eldest daughter Grace to an extremely wealthy peer of the realm, his problems would be over. But as the Reverend was now beginning to realise, it wasn’t sufficient to have a wealthy Duke in the family if the daughter he was trying to marry off had the manners of a stable hand.
Adam Colbourne, the eighth Earl of Ravenstone had no intention of taking a wife. That was until a chance meeting with a foul mouthed raven-haired termagant, who in the space of one night turned his world entirely upside down…
FAITH
When Faith Shackleford found herself in the unenviable position of having to accompany her irascible father to convalesce in the genteel seaside town of Torquay, she envisioned three months of wearying monotony. She certainly wasn’t expecting to be intrigued by the forlorn empty house situated next to their own elegant villa, especially when she discovered it belonged to a handsome captain in the Royal Navy who was currently away at sea. Unfortunately, she never imagined that fascination might cost her her life.
Venture into the madcap world of The Shackleford Sisters now, with books 1 -3 together in one volume for the very first time.
Perfect for fans of Regency Romances with wit, humour and a little bit of steam.
